Anne Enright recommends
thumb
Whale Fall (2024)
Elizabeth O'Connor
"The quiet cadences of Whale Fall contain a deep melody of loss held and let go. It is a gentle, tough story about profound change."
thumb
Wild Houses (2024)
Colin Barrett
"Colin Barrett quietly, insistently, writes so deeply into his characters you could reach out and touch them. Wild Houses is a gift of true storytelling and Barrett's talent burns up the page."
thumb
This Plague of Souls (2023)
Mike McCormack
"This is the reason Mike McCormack is one of Ireland's best-loved novelists; he is the most modestly brilliant writer we have. His delicate abstractions are woven from the ordinary and domestic - both metaphysical and moving, McCormack's work asks the big questions about our small lives."
